Why is egg salad so high in calories?u003cbr/u003e

Egg salad is high in calories because of the amount of mayonnaise that is used. To lower calories and fat, sub half Greek yogurt for the amount of mayonnaise a recipe calls for.

Can you eat egg salad by itself?u003cbr/u003e

Of course! This egg salad is so delicious you can eat it straight from the bowl. I like to use it as a dip for fresh veggies, toasted naan and crackers as well.

How do you keep an egg sandwich from getting soggy?u003cbr/u003e

Toasting the bread is helpful when trying to prevent a soggy sandwich. Additionally ensure that you give the egg salad a good stir and scoop from the top when assembling your sandwiches.

Instructions

Hard Boiled Egg Instructions:

Add 1 cup of water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot if using a 6 quart pot and 2 cups of water if using an 8 quart pot.
Place Instant Pot Trivet or steamer basket into the IP. Stack eggs - it is ok if they are touching. See notes if you don't have an IP trivet.
Close the lid, set steam valve to seal. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. Once done, perform a natural release for an additional 5 minutes and then unseal valve.
Remove eggs from Instant Pot and add them to a prepared ice bath. Peel and enjoy.

Egg Salad Instructions:

Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Gently mix until fully combined.
Serve immediately on toasted bagels, soft white bread, wrapped in a tortilla or straight from the bowl. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.

Notes

To make hard boiled eggs on stovetop: Place 6 eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and remove from heat. Leave eggs covered for 12 minutes. Transfer cooked eggs to an ice bath for about 15 minutes. Peel and enjoy.

Instant Pot hard boiled eggs with no trivet: Place 2 cups of water in IP. Arrange 6 eggs into a single layer. Follow recipe directions as written.
